一直想知道空難發生的地點, 謝謝分享!

ld看了网上的资料后说，这架从温哥华飞卡尔加里的飞机在途中发现四个引擎中的一个引擎故障，于是在Hope附近决定回返温哥华，Mount Slesse应该是回程途中过的最后一座高山? 据猜测可能是飞行员的问题？过于关注故障引擎没有太留神chart和高度?? 当时天气也不好，如果能看得见的话也可能避开？？不过都是猜测，btw: 机上有5名(?)经加拿大再转机到美国纽约的中国人。
我们买了这本书，看完了以后给有兴趣的同学传阅 :lol:
Disaster on Mount Slesse
The Story of Western Canada's Worst Air Crash
by Ian Macdonald & Betty O'Keefe
A gripping account of Western Canada's worst aviation disaster.
Book Description
Mount Slesse, a jagged 2,500-metre peak near Chilliwack BC known locally as "The Fang," lived up to its evil reputation on December 9, 1956, when Trans Canada Airlines Flight 810 slammed into it, killing all 62 aboard. For five months nobody knew what happened. Flight 810 had just disappeared into the night. Adding to the sensation was the fact that the flight carried five professional football players fresh from the CFL All Star game in Vancouver and a mystery man by the name of Kwan Song who was rumoured to be carrying a sizeable fortune in cash. Finally on May 10, 1957, a diminutive female mountaineer named Elfrida Pigou discovered the gruesome crash site, setting off a stampede of macabre treasure hunters. It wasn’t until May 25, 1995, that the BC government placed a protective zone around the debris field, declaring it a Heritage Wreck Site. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of this historic tragedy, Betty O'Keefe and Ian Macdonald have written a gripping, blow-by-blow account of western Canada’s worst aviation disaster, carefully examining its context, causes and aftermath. |
